October/November Newsletter

The heat of summer is finally giving way to the cool breezes of fall, which also means beginning to prepare for the many year end holidays. October is the perfect time to make yourself a fall decoration that will last through Thanksgiving and even Christmas. My Three Pumpkins or Pumpkins patterns are both easy to make as either wall quilts or table toppers for the upcoming season. With each order over the next two months, you will also receive a free quarter yard of my hand dyed fabric.

Road to California in January is a great show and the first time I will be there. I hope you will sign up for one of my classes.

I am going on a cruise through the Panama Canal in April. This is going to be really exciting. What better way to spend those days at sea then making art quilts.

Quilting Adventures in May is a beautiful Texas retreat. Come make quilts with me. We will also be dyeing fabric. OOOOH

Quilt Colorado in July is going to be fun and exciting. See you there.

Fabric Gradations

Variety is the spice of life

Do you know that you can do so many different projects with my Rainbow gradated dyed fabric? My rainbow quilt is made with just two yards of my Rainbow dyed fabric. The fabric grades are from lemon yellow through red, fuchsia, grape, blue and into green and lime green. There are 14 different colors to work with. If you do applique, this fabric is ideal for you.
